COMMUNITY MURAL PROJECTS

Our goal is to create and find public art space to heal and beautify communities through the power of ART! We also identify walls that are commonly tagged and work with the property owner to paint over the illegal graffiti with themed positive artwork.

If you are a property owner, whether it is a business or home, looking for artwork outside or inside your property, contact us for details. We work with a great variety of talented artists that can provide different styles and professional artwork to customize your home or business. We have done motorcycles, businesses, signs, storefronts, houses, murals, canvasses, custom portraits, arcade rooms, and many more over the years. Portfolios available upon request.

South 12th Street & National Avenue 7.17 & 7.18.08
TRUE Skool recently completed a community mural on 12th & National on July 17th & 18th with Legendary Graffiti Artist COPE2. The mural says "From the Youth, To the Community" in Graffiti Art style lettering along with characters of young people holding large art utencils. This mural is funded by The Greater Milwaukee Foundation's Youth-In-Service Fund. This is an example of young people doing positive and legal Graffiti Art in a safe place with permission using art that they are interested in and is relevant to them and their culture. For those that might have a hard time reading the lettering, there are banners above each word in plain lettering. This is just one type of mural our artists can do, our talented artists are very diverse in their skills and themes.

We've seen High School Seniors using this mural as a backdrop for senior pictures!
